From the ArgOsy.J

Mr.. Read, Inspector of Prisons, met
with a painful accident at the Settlement,
Maxarnni, ON Saturday last, where he was
visiting on official business. He had been
to CalacoOn to inspect some buildings
which the Government propose to fit up as
Magistrates Court and Police Station for
the new gold district, and was stepping
into the boat on his way back to hes Settle
ment, when he tripped and fell, his right
fOSs twisting under him, and one OF the
small bones above the ankle receiving a
fracture. The bone was set without delay.
It will be a fortnight at least before he will
be able to get about; and much longer
than that before. he will be able to walk
without q crutch.

 THE POWER OF A GIRL BROWN. II wish some strong, bright angel stood before you now, while you read, girls, to flash before you, as no words of mine can. the power you possess to help or to hinder the cause of temperance to make you feel your re- sponsibiiity, because you are girls, in this matter to shudder at its weight, and nev- CT cease trying to fulfill it Doubtless you have heard good deal about your smiles but do you know the value of your frown and the importance of knowing just what to frown upon.
 What man must do by a blow woman can do by frown. When the time comes that the young man who now shares his time in your society and in the saloon, and jokes about temperance in your presence, and takes glass socially now and then, is made to feel that these things cannot be if you are to be his companion at party, ride or church 1; that good society cannot toler- ate these things in it's members in short. that kind of man is unfashionable and unpopular then alcohol will tremble on his throne, and the liquor traffic will hide its cancerous face. .-1fiss Rose E.

 Gt orpe Freidrick Handel was born in Halle, Pruasian Saxony, Feb.. 23d, 1885. Hin lNtE1nR was married twice and was six ty-two years old when the ssgiant Handel was born. The father did not encourage his taste for music, and was determined the boy should study law. Nature and will were at war, but the divine harmony in the soul of the boy conquered tEe will of the stern old father. The child would steal away at night and practice upon a small clarichord, frequently until the day commenced to dawn. For all time the hearts of the people will thrill with joy and rejoice when they listen to that grand ora torio of the Messiah which was composed in twenty three days, and others quite as masterly, that the soul of music spoke to the world instead of yielding to the fathers demands.

The whole spirit of those present was that expressed in the words of MT. J. s. Cooke, who, in behalf of mem- bers of the church and society, presented MT. Wilder with fine gold chain, with a number of solid gold souvenirs for Mrs Wilder, which will pass current in any part of the civilized world, and @ silver spoon for each of the young folks of his family -Margery and John. In rendering these expressions of esteem, Mir. Cooke said :-
 GAS the day is near when the official re- lation which has bound us together for the last seven years must cease to be, we have gathered here for an interchange of friend ly greetings, that you may take with you and we may keep with us happy last thought of our social and religious part nership.

Remembering that the chain of affection can easily stretch from Massachusetts to Wisconsin without breaking, and that you may have constant and useful monitor, the sight and touch of which shall remind you of this fact, we ask you to receive from us and to wear, these golden links--which in their genuineness and closeness of at. tachment symbolize the tie that binds us to you. And to you, Mrs. Wilder, in be- half of the ladies of the church and socie. ty, present this substantial token com. posed of genuine coin. of the republic, up. on which there is no more discount than there is in their affection for you. And to the little ones, Margery and John-these pretty and handy little tools, to aid them in feeding their bodies, so that they may grow up strong and be fitted for the i'm. portant work awaiting them in the future. And may God abundantly bless you all and spare you until not a heathen remains in the great state of. Wisconsin
 MT. Wilder responded in happy vein, expressing thanks, and feeling of unal. loved friendship with all, and sincere wishes for their future peace and prosperi | ty
